Chapter 132.2

After sleeping all afternoon during the day, Xiao Qiao felt refreshed in the evening, so she got up and wrote back to her father.

Because of the winter, the day was getting shorter. It was only the middle of the day, but the sky was already dark. Chun Niang entered the room to turn on the light.

Old Zhong led two servants to carry the food case inside and set it on the table, smiling and asking Xiao Qiao to have dinner.

Xiao Qiao asks about Wei Shao. Although he had become busy recently, he was usually back by this hour. Since she got pregnant, she has been eating six or seven meals a day. She could not eat dinner too early, so these days, she waited for him to come back and eat together. But today, she has not seen him yet.

Old Zhong said, Just now, Master sent a message saying he would be late and asked the Lady to eat without waiting for him.

Since Wei Shao had sent someone back to send a message, something must have happened. Xiao Qiao didnt wait any longer and had her meal. She was afraid of vomiting again, so she stood in the room for a while before being urged by Chun Niang to lie down.

Wei Shao didnt return until late. After Xiao Qiao got pregnant, besides vomiting, she was also very sleepy and spent her days muddled. She fell asleep in bed while lying and waiting for Wei Shao.

When Xiao Qiao woke up, her ears were quiet, and she didnt know what time it was. Without opening her eyes, she felt a hot body beside her and knew Wei Shao was in bed.

She touched his cheek, drowsy and softly whimpered, stretched like a cat, raised her hand to grab his shoulder, sprawled bonelessly on his chest while still closing her eyes, and vaguely asked: When did husband return?

Some time ago. She heard him say.

Xiao Qiao opened her eyes, looked at the clock in the room, and realized it was already the middle of the night.

Xindu became the temporary pre-war military headquarters for Wei Shao.

The atmosphere in this city became tense all of a sudden. A few days later, the people finally noticed the endless stream of armor-clad and solemn-looking generals who had arrived from all directions.

People began to talk apprehensively about whether a new war was about to start again. They were not wrong in their guesses.

Li Dian, Li Chong, Zhang Jian, and Wei Liang. The Generals under Wei Shaos command, who had been through many battles, were informed within a few days. After making preparations, they were summoned from Youzhou and Bingzhou and ran to Xindu one after another in fast order.

The army started to move south one after another and set up on the north bank of the Yellow River. From morning to night, even in the middle of the night, fast horses were galloping in and out like lightning, delivering all kinds of news and information to the four gates of Xindu.

In the front hall of Xin Palace, the lights often stayed on late and even through the night. Wei Shao and his strategists, Generals, and provisions officers were there to discuss countermeasures and strategies. They had already prepared for the battle. Although the atmosphere was tense, they carried everything in an orderly manner.

It was just that Wei Shao became unusually busy all of a sudden. Xiao Qiao couldnt see him during the day. He always came back late at night.

Sometimes in the early hours of the morning, not having slept for a moment, he would be called away by a new message coming from the Yellow River frontier.

Half a month later, on this day at the end of November, Wei Shao finally settled on a strategy for the war. With Liyang Ferry in the north of the Yellow River as the base camp for the war, he built a fortress at Gaotang and Fanjin as a warehouse. Then, he formed a defensive line to stand by against Xing Xuns army two hundred miles along the bank of the Yellow River.

Three days later, he would be leaving Xindu and led his army to Liyang. On the same day, Xiao Qiao received a letter from Mrs. Xu. Her letter was simple and consisted of only one sentence. She said: Send Shaoer to war on behalf of Grandmother.
